Variability and path coefficient analysis for yield attributing traits of mungbean (Vigna radiata L.)

Seven mungbean genotypes were studied to estimate the genetic variability and path coefficient analysis for yield attributing traits at Agronomy farm of Institute of Agriculture and Animal Science (IAAS), Paklihawa Campus, Rupandehi, Nepal during summer season of 2017. The experiment was conducted with four replications in a randomized complete block design. Pant-5 and Maya were found high yielding genotypes. High genotypic coefficient of variation was exhibited by secondary branches and seed yield per plant. The low genotypic coefficient of variation was given by pod length, number of grains per pod and days to 50% flowering. High heritability was shown by test weight, secondary branches and seed yield per plant. Yield was correlated positively with days to flowering, pod length, primary branches per plant, test weight, biological, seed yield per plant and number of pods per plant. Biological yield, pod length, days to 50% flowering and no. of grains per pod contributed maximum positive and direct effect on yield indicating these three traits should be given emphasis while selecting high yielding mungbean cultivar for irrigated condition

Ethno-medicinal Usage Ethno-medicinal Usage of Invasive Plants in Traditional Health Care Practices: A Review

Nepal is a small South Asian country with a varied geographical and bioclimatic landscape. Invasive Plant Species have already been introduced in large numbers, causing the extinction of native species and disrupting crop production, as well as degrading endangered animal habitats, changing plant species composition, and interfering with tree seedling regeneration. However, it is critical in the health treatment of rural populations in developing countries. Our study will look at and compile knowledge on the therapeutic applications of invasive plants utilized by a range of Nepalese communities. We combed through numerous websites, including Research Gate and Google Scholar, for historical and contemporary studies on the therapeutic usage of Nepal's invasive plants.24 species from 12 families of invasive alien plant species were identified to be utilized for medicinal purposes by Nepalese rural people. The 39 diseases for which medicinal plants were reported were diabetes, rheumatism, fever, ulcers, bronchitis, kidney stone, asthma, urinary insufficiency, and others. Traditional knowledge of invasive plant species' uses is diminishing due to the negative effects of invasive plant species on the ecosystem; hence, rigorous documentation of ethnomedicinal knowledge on invasive plant species is needed. Thus, the medicinal potentialities of unwanted invasive species, which are sometimes neglected by others, will provide a gem for the study world
